My delivery van: Comfort's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Comfort can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $195
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you, Comfort. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Benin City
